The website provides detailed information, data access, and application entry points for system users, interagency partners, providers, and the public.

Redesign Underway
The FAMWEB web site is currently being redesigned to bring together a number of applications and services to better serve our user community. The New User Accounts and Disclaimer pages have been broadened to cover the variety of application technologies and diverse user groups. The Distribution (where manuals, software, etc. may be downloaded) and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) pages remain the same. Future plans include merging the TechNotes and Announcements pages to provide up-to-the-minute details on the status and enhancements of the applications, tools, and services. Additionally, an integrated Help system is being developed ensuring a single interface for all FAMWEB applications and tools.

FAMWEB Data Warehouse
In the future the FAMWEB web site will provide access to the FAMWEB Data Warehouse (FDW). In support of the basic goal of providing more efficient and cost effective fire suppression are research efforts and prescribed fire programs, which rely on the ability to analyze current, historical, and other related fire data. The FDW will provide users with a Web interface to flexible reporting tools integrating data from a variety of fire, weather, and aviation databases. The FDW will integrate fire and weather related data from the Fire Statistics (FIRESTAT) system, Weather Information Management System (WIMS), National Interagency Situation Report (SIT/209), and Annual Wildfire Summary Report (AWSR). It will also provide access to Federal Excess Property Management System (FEPMIS) information. Information resources within the warehouse will be accessed through a web-based user interface allowing users, based on security roles, to view and print standard reports, create their own queries and reports, and conduct advanced analysis. A web-based geospatial tool will allow users to search and view data warehouse information through an interactive map display. The FDW is scheduled for limited release in the summer of 2008, with a wider release in the fall of 2008.
